NATIONAL They'll Do It Every Time By Jimmy Hatlo EDITORIAL ssn AsibcfATrdM Monday Afternoon, May IS, 1950 ; , , ; .. . . Still Competitive Another indication, as well as proof, that the tourist business is a highly competitive field, s evidenced by the recent travel and resort section of The New York Times. The paper for May 7, carried a 40-page re sort and travel section, with highly attractive advertisements and appeals from a wide area. The cost of a page was in the neighborhood of $4,500, we were told, which shows to what ex tent the tourist operators are spending money to promote the coming summer season. Florida beaches are making a strong bid for the business, as well as Maine and Canad ian resorts, and the Islands in tropic Atlantic. This immediate section was represented in the section by messages from Asheville, Fon tana and Gatlinburg. A map of the Blue Ridge Parkway was given in the reading section, with many places in Virginia carry ing messages of "come to see us." jit would take a "mint of money" to parti cipate in all the resort sections, and all the forms of advertising which are now designed to reach the vacationeer. However, the fact remains, that the field is highly competitive and we must act accordingly if we are keep abreast of the trends of the day; It is a source of much gratification to us that bids will soon be called for. a 6-mile sec tion of the Blue Ridge Parkway out of Soco Gap. The 6-mile section will connect with the other section now under construction, and will afford a modern highway, to Heintooga, via Wolf Laurel, and the Balsam Camp "ground, which' is also under construction. In fact, the entire area now pretty much isolated, will be available to the traveling public to visit, and enjoy some of the best mountain views in this entire nation. We have always felt that when work was resumed on the Parkway at Soco where it was left off when the Japs struck at Pearl Harbor, that the citizens of this section would realize again the importance of this scenic highway. ; The fact that the construction on the Park way west of Asheville has not moved as fast as in some other areas has brought about a feeling among many that the Parkway will terminate at Asheville. This wrong impres sion cart now be discounted, since one con tract for over $330,000 is already underway, and the bids will be opened early next month ; for another 6-mile section. Those who have kept in close contact with the situation have high hopes of some work being done in the Pisgah Forest area ere too long. It all addsp to the fact, that it looks like this area is at long last getting back in Parkway construction to where it was prior to the war. . .

The pessimist says the glass is half empty and the optimist insists that it is half full, But we got a new slant on this the other day when we remarked that Spring must be here; that the trees and flowers have burst out all of a suddea A listener broke in: "Yes. and so have the weeds," As he is fathering a new garden, we knew wl.at he meant. . "Overheard in passinf : Tep. I've cot as fine batch as ever you did see." Pride decorated every word he uttered. It was at the closing exercises of nearby school, and everybody had come in Ms best. One of the teachers was especially attractive with a lovely corsage of red roses. She noticed one of her pupils gaz lng at her attentively and asked him: "Well, Johnny, do I look all right?" Johnny didn't hesitate minute but gave forth: "on, you're all right but I was looking at the beautiful red mas-sage you are wearing." 13 YEARS AGO Every person In the community is asked to mali ten post card views of this section to distant friends. to The Park Sign Gets Repainted Few man-made things attract muclf more attention in Waynesville than the Park sign across Main Street and the court house. , . We were very happy when the court house was named that is, when the letters were placed on the front. Now we are happy again that the city of ficials are having the Park sign repainted, and . the structural framework brightened. This sign is a distinct asset to us, and in fact, it has become more or less the town's trade mark during the past 20 years. Usually.

Needless Waste During the past few years there has been a growing tendency on the part of most gov ernment departments and bureaus to publish magazines or bulletins about their work. This procedure is expensive, and very often heedless and worthless. Unfortunately, the publications usually devote more space' in bragging about person nel, especially the "chief" than in any con structive information for the general public, who after all, is paying for the publication. Not long ago one state agency published a "masterpiece" as far as beauty? and composi tion of contents. As far as being of real value to the public it was not. The contents "glori fied" the boss, and his right-hand assistants. Of course this made the "boss" pleased with his public relations man. ; The same thing that happening in our state bureaus is going on "in the federal ex cept on a much larger scale. . And to make matters worse, some agencies in dire need of trying to distribute their pub lications send as many as three and four to one firm. We noticed recently upon the ar rival of two state publications that most peo ple receiving them tossed them in the trash cans in the post office or just left them on the post office tables in the lobby. " Among some of the latest publications out of Washington, includes one by The Interior Department called: "The Early Life of the Atlantic Mackerel." Another that is just a bout as interesting (?) "The Mortality of Soft Clams of Essex, Mass." We agree with Rep. James W. Wadsworth, of New York, when during a speech in the House on a similar subject of "public waste suggested that some department in Washing ton complete the list by publishing a booklet on "The Sex Life of the Watermelon.". The ,heads of our different departments in both state and federal governments should carefully check the list, and cull out the laige majoriry'of needless publications.

Preliminary count gives Waynesville a population of 2,744 and Hazelwood 1,512. Mr. and Mrs. Roy Campbell give supper party at their camp on the Soco Gap Road.

He'll tell 'em a thing or two." All right, Bob Reynolds is going -rand apparently isn't creating a ripple. Where is the Bob of yes teryear? What, has happened to his (lair., his colorful, left-handed approach,- his neat phrases, and his way with the ladies? He may be getting around a lot, but news paper; publicity indicates he is doing nothing. Perhaps the grass roots people, the masses, and what is known as the "silent vote" are just standing out there waiting Im patiently for the polls to. open on the morning of May 27th. He prophesied last week that there would not be a second prim aryand he smay be right largely because his vote will not be large enough to bring one about. Aside to Bob Reynolds: Won't you please try hard one more time to at least come up with a spark of the Reynolds fire of '32 and '38, for old times sake if noth ing else? .

But it's also easier at first to find the "mother substitute whom every man at heart seeks in the woman he, loves in a person who does not expect him (as a normal girl his age would) to be "someone whom she can look up to." . s II 1 Can the creative impulse be explained? Not by the creative mm Answer: ertist, anyhow, says Dr. Edmund Bergler in "The Writer and Psy choanalysis." Nor does he have J any control over it. All he Can do i Is to "work out" ideas that appear to come "from nowhere," but in ' fast arise from his unconscious j mind. That is why, when his un- conscious conflicts become too se ? vere, his "inspiration" leaves him. f But of course, the working out of ideas demands "experience, tact, end great technical skill," and without thes, the creative im jpuise ends in nothing but fi usUa- Do normal yeung men prefer y ,'', efder women?
